Ed crossed his arms as he put his foot on the table so he could lean back in his chair. "Seems easy enough," he murmured as he blew the stray piece of hair in the middle of his bangs.
"Sure," the retired assistant replied. "Just remember everything in these notes and you'll be fine!"
"Kay, kay," Ed said in a sing-song voice as he dropped his foot and grabbed the thick notebook. "Shouldn't be too hard to read all this... Worth it for the huge promotion."
"More might be in your future," the old assistant mused.
"Nuh uh!" Ed's jaw fell. "I'm high enough, aren't I?"
"You'd think so, huh?"
"Well... I better get to work and get Bradley's coffee."
"Good luck and have fun," the assistant nodded his head as Ed wandered off.

Fuery leaned against the wall and straightened out his back. "Damn, Havoc!" He growled louder than he should have. He kept moving, swiftly swerving from side to side in the hall to try and hear something as he moved.
"I hope Breda's having more luck," Fuery muttered under his breath as he turned to his left. "Damn this place is too big."
"Fuery!" A familiar female voice spoke. Fuery turned around to find Riza.
"H-hi!" Fuery smiled uneasily.
"What's wrong, Fuery?" Riza questioned.
"Nothing."
"Tell me," Riza warned.
"Nothing is wrong, I swear!"
"Soldier! You better tell me in a few seconds," Riza demanded as she took a few steps forward.
Fuery protected his face and turned. "We need to find Havoc before Bradley does something to him."
Riza stared at him with surprise before her emotions returned to their normal state. "Let's find him."
